Number Of Ingredients 8

4 leeks
1 pound ground lamb
2 eggs
1 cup matzo meal
salt to taste
½ teaspoon white pepper

½ cup oil for frying

Steps:

  • Cut the white part of the leek stalks into 4 to 5 pieces each and cook uncovered in water until tender; drain. Grind, preferable in a meat grinder.
  • In a large bowl, mix ground leeks with lamb and add eggs; mix well. Add matzo meal until mixture is stable but not too hard. If you added too much matzo meal, add another egg. Add salt, pepper and garlic.

  • In a large skillet, heat oil and pan fry until golden; serve hot or at room temperature.
